The 25-year-old Robert Paradero intends to pour it all against the 31-year-old Thammanoon Niyomtrong.
Given another crack at a world title, Robert Paradero is determined not to bungle it again.
This time, however, Paradero will be up against unbeaten champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong, with the 12-rounder to be fought in Phuket, Thailand.

Thinking he was ahead, Paradero relaxed in the latter rounds, enabling Victorio Saludar to earn a split decision in their battle for the World Boxing Association minimum weight crown on February 20 in Biñan, Laguna.
Paradero, disappointed with his first loss after 18 wins with 12 knockouts, wanted a rematch but it didn’t materialize.
Just when Paradero thought his career was heading nowhere, the offer to fight Niyomtrong – also known as Knockout CP Freshmart – for the WBA “super” minimum title came.
